EEPC INDIA Chairman’s Pen My dear fellow exporters, The Council will be hosting its mega engineering show INDEE Brazil 2009 at Centro de Feiras e Eventos do Dva, Caxias do Sul, RS Brazil from October 20-23, 2009. This exhibition will be held at the MERCOPAR 2009 which is the largest Subcontracting and Industrial Innovation Fair in Latin America. 128 member companies are participating at this show and India has been designated as the Feature Country at this exhibition. The India MERCOSUR Preferential Trade Agreement has been implemented with effect from June 01, 2009. INDO-Brazil 2009 will give a perspective to the participating Indian engineering companies to get a feel of the Brazilian market as well as the adjoining markets and also get a feedback of the engineering industry of this region. EEPC INDIA also intends to sign a couple of MOUs with the local leading Chambers of Commerce in Brazil so that it is possible for us to continue our relations in that region and get feedback from that part of the world on a continuous basis post the event. Yours sincerely, (AMAN CHADHA) 2 Engineering Export Info-Bulletin, Vol. 11, Issue No. 42, October 19, 2009 Overseas Information EEPC INDIA Invites Participation in INDEE - Jakarta, 2009 (Indian Engineering Exhibition) December 02-05, 2009 In association with MANUFACTURING INDONESIA - 2009 (Manufacturing Machinery, Equipment, Materials and Services Exhibitions) at Jakarta International Expo Kemayoran, Jakarta, Indonesia Preamble EEPC is pleased to announce its forthcoming INDEE - Jakarta to be held at Jakarta International Expo Kemayoran, Indonesia from 2nd to 5th December, 2009. This is a major initiative towards consolidating Indian presence into the Indonesian market. Our INDEE is coincided with Manufacturing Indonesia which, in its 20th year, is considered to be one of the major events - not only in Indonesia, but also entire ASEAN, encompassing manufacturing machinery, equipments etc. The last edition of this exhibition attracted 1,488 exhibitors from 33 countries with approximately 35,500 business visitors in attendance. This exhibition will be supported by the following trade associations of Indonesia in order to draw attention of their members to visit our event: Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) Department of Industry, Republic of Indonesia ASIMPI - Indonesian Machine Tool Industries Association ASPEP - Association of Metalwork and Machinery AIPPINDO - Indonesian Precision Tooling Industry Association GIAMM - Indonesian Automotive Parts & Components Industries Association HKI - Indonesian Industrial Estate Association IMDIA - Indonesian Mould & Dies Industry Association About Indonesia Indonesia has emerged as one of the most potential countries in the South East Asian Region immediately after Singapore. India’s engineering exports achieved a growth of 2.09% during 2008-09 over the previous year, which has lot of scope for growth. The recent trend in the export growth of engineering products and services to Indonesia could be a focal point to capitalize on the opportunities existing over there. Indonesia boasts one of South East Asia’s most vibrant economies, the fruit of decades of industrial growth and political stability. Indonesia’s Business Scenario Indonesia has the largest economy in South East Asia, and is one of the emerging market economies of the world. It has a market-based economy in which the government plays a significant role by owning more than 164 state-owned enterprises. As per “The Economist” estimated GDP for 2008 was US$ 510.8 billion. The economy’s performance in the first quarter of 2009, when real GDP grew by 4.4% year on year, was surprisingly strong, mainly owing to the resilience of private consumption. In 2008 merchandise exports (fob) rose by 18% to US$ 139 billion and imports (fob) expanded by 36.6% to US$ 116 billion. Major imports are Machinery and Electrical Equipment (26% of total import) and Base Metals (11.9% of total import). Industrial sector has more than 40% contribution in GDP with major industries including petroleum and natural gas, textiles, apparel, and mining. Indonesia’s machine tool & metalworking industries are creating higher demand for machines, technology and solutions. Engineering Export Info-Bulletin, Vol. 11, Issue No. 42, October 19, 2009 3 Overseas Information Indonesia is also a part of the ASEAN trade block. The bilateral agreement between India and the ASEAN countries will provide newer opportunities to the Indian business community.
